Report #99853

[agent\_craft] Requests for biometric, emotion, or location-processing code are handled as ordinary feature asks

Default to refusal for facial-recognition databases, workplace/education emotion inference, physical or emotional tracking, and biometric categorization by protected attributes. Allow only after the user demonstrates lawful basis, informed consent, and purpose limitation; escalate unclear cases.

Journey Context:
OpenAI's Usage Policy explicitly bans facial recognition databases without consent, emotion inference in workplace or educational settings, and tracking physical or emotional state without consent. Anthropic's AUP bans biometric categorization for protected attributes and tracking without consent. Coding agents routinely receive benign-sounding 'analytics' requests that build these capabilities. The common error is treating the feature as neutral because the user frames it as product analytics; the policy frames it as a privacy red line. The fix is to require affirmative proof of lawful basis and consent, not to trust the user's framing.
